SB50 at My New House

-


















So I moved into my house on Thursday / Friday and Margaret and I had randomly decided to have a Super Bowl party so we had to get everything ready REAL quick. Grace was spending the night with me the night of the SB and that was going to be the last time I saw her until JULY because she leaves for Australia tomorrow to study abroad!!

So we had us a party. Margaret had the idea for a photo booth and it worked out well because my dining room is painted light blue and Panther blue (not on purpose - at Lowes it didn't look quite as bright...oh well) so the wall was a great backdrop!

We had great food - everyone brought something yummy and different. It ended up being an all-girls SB party, so we had cute cupcakes, turquoise and black rice krispies, pretty punch, AND I MADE SPINACH DIP WITH BLUE FOOD COLORING!! haaaaa ahahah. It looked gross but tasted great.
We were all pretty disappointed with the game, but the party was so much fun that it didn't matter too much. Besides, I thought Peyton Manning deserved to win one last Super Bowl.
(Now if it had been Tom Brady getting that trophy I WOULD have been upset...)


I'm really glad that my first official event at The Lighthouse was a Panther Super Bowl party with precious friends and family. :)

Our Love Story

  Our Story This is how it goes... For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings. They knew each other, but they didn't really know each other. Beth went to High Point University, and Drew attended North Carolina State University. Years passed and sometimes they would say hey, but were usually too shy to say much else (yes, Beth Burroughs was shy around boys she thought were really cute). Even when they both accompanied the youth group on church camp trips, they didn't say much to each other. After college Drew moved back to High Point to start work and Beth moved to Boone to get her Master's at Appalachian State. The timing wasn't right yet....... When Beth was in her first year teaching at Southwest High School (2015), she sent Drew a Facebook message (ah, the era of social media) asking about apartments because she was looking to move out of her parents' house. She was also looking for the conversat

First #WeddingWednesday Post!

So I've been posting our story on our "The Knot" site. I've been posting in increments since I wanted to include the full story, but haven't had the time to sit down and type the whole thing! Also, I think people would rather read a little at a time... and it keeps everyone on the edge of their seat!! lol This was the first 'installment' I posted: For several years, they would glance at each other across the sanctuary at Oak View Baptist on Sunday mornings.

Things Unseen

2 Corinthians 4:17-18 (NIV) 17  For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.   18  So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen,  since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. Lately I've been getting weighed down with the issues of the world. Yesterday I read 2 Corinthians 4:8-18 in my daily reading book. In these verses, Paul talks about being pressed but not crushed, perplexed but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, and struck down but not destroyed... if you are a follower of Christ. The troubles of the world may weigh on us, but they will not overtake us. As we receive grace and sustenance for each day from God, we should become more thankful, which goes along with what I've been intentional about this week - writing a list of things I'm grateful for and thanking God for them. Focusing on these things will help us to see the world through His eyes. Verses
